Conservatism My Views

I suppose it would be a good idea to state why I started Conservative Outrage and believe it would be a good idea to give a brief description of what I consider a “conservative” is.

Con·serv·a·tive

disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.

traditional in style or manner; avoiding novelty or showiness:

a person who is conservative in principles, actions, habits, etc *

That would describe me. What’s wrong with traditional values? What’s wrong with existing conditions, we are the wealthiest nation on earth. We got here by hard work, high standards and morals that preserved the individual, family and county.

I believe in family values as they were intended in the Bible and the Torah, as in the Church and the Temple. I believe in a strong military to protect this county from harm and intrusion of forces who would harm us. I believe in law and order and majority rules. I believe schools and colleges should teach our young their ABC’s, Arithmetic, Grammar, Reading of the classics and English as the language of the United States of America. I do not believe our schools and colleges should use their positions to push their own political agenda. Schools and colleges should be an open and free exchange of ideas. Health is one thing to teach however sex, morals, and respect should be taught in the home by both parents. Yes, BOTH parents who have stood before family and friends and their G-d and used words like love, honor, cherish and respect.

This county is 200+ years old and has gone from a small boatload of people at Plymouth, Massachusetts to the moon and soon to be beyond. It has conquered Polio, Smallpox, and Whooping Cough and has every other nation on earth coming here for health care. It has invented the reaper (combine to the young and city people), the automobile, computers that put men on the moon and now run the world and the Polaroid Camera .It produces more food, I believe, than any other nation on earth. It gives food to nations and people who would otherwise have nothing to eat and starve. In the time of global tragedy The United States of America gives more money, care, and medical supplies than most the other counties combined.

We have freed more people from tyranny and dictators in our short existence than any other country in the world. Just ask the French from World War I, the Jews from World War II, the Kuwaitis and now the Iraqis. We have done it all without fanfare or bravado. Then we go to the countries we defeated and help rebuild them. We continue to call France, Spain and Germany our allies although they in the past have consistently fought against the United States in the United Nations. Our hearts are open to all who ask for help and our arms are strong to carry the burden often time unwanted to be carried by other nations. Why? Because that’s what Conservatives do.

Do I believe in restoring prayer in schools and returning the Ten Commandments to the court room, yes I do! Is the Constitution of the United States the most important writing in this county’s history and should it be strictly interpreted, yes it is not a living growing instrument. It has served this county well for over 200 years.

"You do not need a constitution to reflect changes that occur in society," All you need is a legislature and a ballot box.". "In our country, when the people decided that women should have the vote, it was not done by decree of the Supreme Court. We adopted a constitutional amendment, which is the democratic way to do it." Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia in an interview with Joshua Rozenberg, Legal Editor, Telegraph.co.UK.

Am I a Conservative, well, if you believe in the above and everything else the people in this county have done for the rest of the world in the past 200+ years yes, I am!

THE ELECTION/ MY POSITION

If you are reading this you may have come from the blog Diary of a Military Dad. If not, you may want to go there and read it first. This posting may make a little more sense; then again, some people would say I never make any sense. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Blog comments are the very root of our American Freedom of Speech and the right to express ourselves with fear of governmental reprisal. We may have different views regarding the current political climate. I respect Infantry Dad’s opinion and like him only want peace in this world. We both have shared “inside stories” about our soldier sons and want what is best for our county. We just have different opinions on how to achieve the same results.

I unlike some Americans have kept my election options open. I have yet to decide who I will vote for. Some of you may remember I ran a poll several months ago requesting input. I received several responses and thank those who responded. I have decided for whom I will not vote.

IMHO: The leader of the greatest nation in the world needs to be steadfast, loyal, honest and a God fearing person. The two main contenders of those running for this position have placed themselves in the media enough and have been visible in various venues for me to rule out one of them. I have ruled out Senator Barrack Hussein Obama for the following reasons:

Senator Barrack Hussein Obama

1. Doesn’t want his middle name used
2. Voted present more times as a state senator than he voted for/against a bill
3. Back tracked on his pastor and his church after saying he attended for 20 years, then saying he didn’t attend that often.
4. Refused to place his hand over his heart during playing of the National Anthem
5. Refused to wear an American flag lapel pin, I don’t object to his right of expression, I do object when he begins to wear it after he has “won” his parties nomination. I believe this is hypocritical on his part.
6. Said he believes in publically funded elections to make elections more equal then decided he could raise more money on the internet and refused the public fund route
7. Began his run for the Presidency 143 days, less than 4 months, after taking the oath of office for the Senate position he had just won for the first time. I question his commitment to those who voted him.
8. Says he wouldn’t want his daughters burdened with an unwanted child
9. Is a member of the committee to oversee the War in Afghanistan and never visited the country.

10. Has yet to offer a viable solution to our current energy crisis and refuses to allow any type of drilling in or around the United States. Mine is not to comment on these issues as they most certainly speak for themselves but I must regarding this. Exactly when does Senator Barrack Hussein Obama plan on allowing the United States to drill for our own oil!
11. Stated he would bomb Pakistan one of our allies in the Afghanistan War
12. Has publically stated our soldiers are “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians”, (in Afghanistan). I can assure Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, our brave sons are not “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians”. They, Senator Obama, are protecting you to make un-informed, ill advised and sometimes totally stupid comments.
13. Told a Portland crowd: “Iran does not pose a serious
    threat to us. Tiny countries with small defense budgets can’t do us
    harm." Then the very next day he states: “I’ve made it clear for years that
    the threat from Iran is grave.” http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Alt/alt.politics/2008-05/msg03346.html
14. Removed all reference to his opposition to the Global War on Terror from his campaign web site.
15. Stated at a fund raiser, “So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

http://inkslwc.wordpress.com/2008/04/12/barack-obama-bitter-

16. Stated on Monday, July 21, 2008 while in Iraq he was going to be working with the Iraqi government for the next 8 to 10 years. Does he not understand if he wins and is re-elected he only serves for 8 years. That is unless; he is planning on following past President Clinton’s example and use the position of President of the United States to further his own financial gains.

This is not an endorsement of Senator John McCain, this is only my position regarding Senator Barrack Hussein Obama and his campaign for my Presidential vote.

COMMENTS ARE VERY APPRECIATED

BOYCOTT MATEL TOYS!!!

Well once again the low life of the toy industry has chosen to "slime" a once wonderful, beautiful toy. Check out the "new" Barbie Doll made by Matel. What are these people thinking, oh yeah, that's right, THEY'RE NOT THINKING!!

Change from the LEFT for me!

This is getting to be a daily project. What position has Barrack Hussein Obama changed in the last 24 hours?

Change for Tuesday July 15,2008:

Obama website's opposition to successful surge gets deleted

A funny thing happened over on the Barack Obama campaign website in the last few days.

The parts that stressed his opposition to the 2007 troop surge and his statement that more troops would make no difference in a civil war have somehow disappeared. John McCain and Obama have been going at it heavily in recent days over the benefits of the surge.

When President Bush ordered the surge in January, 2007, Obama said, "I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse," a position he maintained throughout 2007. This year he acknowledged progress, but maintained his position that political progress was lacking.

Tuesday, while Obama gave a speech on foreign policy, the New York Daily News was first to notice the removal of parts of Obama's campaign site listing the Iraq troop surge as part of "The Problem." An Obama spokeswoman said it was just part of an "update" to "reflect changes in current events," as our colleague Frank James notes in the Swamp. The update includes a new section on the rise of al-Qaeda violence in Afghanistan.

But some might see the updating as part of Obama's skip to the political center now that he's secured the Democratic nomination. "Today," McCain said Tuesday, "we know Sen. Obama was wrong" to oppose the troop surge.

An old quote of Obama's criticizing the "rash war," which helped him with the left wing of his party and helped differentiate his stand from that of Sen. Hillary Clinton, a primary opponent who voted for the use of force in Iraq, has been replaced on his site by one saying that ending the Iraq war will make America safer. That's more of a general election message.

And hat tip to the folks over at the Wake Up America blog for their continuing trenchant analyses of the summer campaigns in general and, specifically, for highlighting the video below that contrasts Obama's pre-surge position with a more recent interview of David Axelrod, his chief campaign strategist, denying Obama's statements. A reminder of how carefully voters must listen during these last four campaign months.

BAD VIBES

Being a Conservative I am deeply troubled by the dialogue currently coming from the camp and mouth of candidate Barrack Hussein Obama. The World Net Daily, a Conservative site, has posted some disturbing speech quotes.

What is, if not inflammatory in nature is just as ridiculous in content, as his comment ”we’re not just air raiding villages and killing civilians”, when discussing our Fighting Soldiers in Afghanistan. It is just as inflammatory and ridiculous as referring to our government ICE Officers claiming they terrorize “nursing mothers”.

Obama: Immigration enforcement equals terror
Decries raids with 'nursing mothers torn from babies'

I thought Barrack Hussein Obama was the candidate that was going to CHANGE the way of politics in the United States. Instead he has changed his position on his church, pastor, friends, NAFTA, the 2^nd Amendment and apparently low blow politics!

He hasn’t changed his position on Oil though, he continues to oppose drilling out of sight and offshore, even though every hard working man and woman is paying over $4.00 per gallon to go to and from work every day. They don’t drive around in campaign sponsored or tax payer paid for SUV’S.
